The MII layer shouldn't care about administrative status of an interface. Make MII drivers forget about 'struct ifnet'.
Later plan is to provide an administrative downcall from ifnet layer into drivers, to inform them about administrative status change. If someone thinks that processing MII events for an administratively down interface is a big problem, then drivers would turn MII processing off.
The following MII drivers do evil things, like strcmp() on driver name, so they still need knowledge of ifnet and thus include if_var.h. They all need to be fixed:
sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c sys/dev/mii/e1000phy.c sys/dev/mii/ip1000phy.c sys/dev/mii/jmphy.c sys/dev/mii/nsphy.c sys/dev/mii/rgephy.c sys/dev/mii/truephy.c

The r48589 promised to remove implicit inclusion of if_var.h soon. Prepare to this event, adding if_var.h to files that do need it. Also, include all includes that now are included due to implicit pollution via if_var.h

Remove duplicate const specifiers in many drivers (I hope I got all of them, please let me know if not). Most of these are of the form:
static const struct bzzt_type { [...list of members...] } const bzzt_devs[] = { [...list of initializers...] };
The second const is unnecessary, as arrays cannot be modified anyway, and if the elements are const, the whole thing is const automatically (e.g. it is placed in .rodata).
I have verified this does not change the binary output of a full kernel build (except for build timestamps embedded in the object files).

- There's no need to overwrite the default device method with the default one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time (bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9) since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily. Discussed with: jhb, marcel - While at it, use DEVMETHOD_END. Discussed with: jhb - Also while at it, use __FBSDID.

- Import the common MII bitbang'ing code from NetBSD and convert drivers to take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 4k. The only potential in-tree user left unconverted is xe(4), which generally should be changed to use miibus(4) instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to xe(4) just for the MII bitbang'ing code. The common MII bitbang'ing code also is useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access. - Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4), tl(4) and xl(4). - Sprinkle some const.
Thanks to the following testers: Andrew Bliznak (nge(4)), nwhitehorn@ (bm(4)), yongari@ (sis(4) and ste(4)) Thanks to Hans-Joerg Sirtl for supplying hardware to test stge(4).

- Follow the lead of dcphy(4) and pnphy(4) and move the reminder of the PHY drivers that only ever attach to a particular MAC driver, i.e. inphy(4), ruephy(4) and xlphy(4), to the directory where the respective MAC driver lives and only compile it into the kernel when the latter is also there, also removing it from miibus.ko and moving it into the module of the respective MAC driver. - While at it, rename exphy.c, which comes from NetBSD where the MAC driver it corresponds to also is named ex(4) instead of xl(4) but that in FreeBSD actually identifies itself as xlphy(4), and its function names accordingly for consistency. - Additionally while at it, fix some minor style issues like whitespace in the register headers and add multi-inclusion protection to inphyreg.h.

Convert the PHY drivers to honor the mii_flags passed down and convert the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For the most part these were: - Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired address(es) instead. - PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe()) and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

Move xl_reset() to xl_init_locked(). This will make driver initialize controller from a known good state. Previously driver used to issue controller reset while TX/RX DMA are in progress. I guess resetting controller in active TX/RX DMA cycle is to ensure stopping I/Os in xl_shutdown(). I remember some buggy controllers didn't respond with stop command if controller is under high network load at the time of shutdown so resetting controller was the only safe way to stop the I/Os. However, from my experiments, controller always responded with stop command under high network load so I think it's okay to remove the xl_reset() in device_shutdown handler. Resetting controller also will clear configured RX filter which in turn will make WOL support hard because driver have to reprogram RX filter in WOL handler as well as setting station address.

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/ IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list.

When user_frac in the polling subsystem is low it is going to busy the CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available. In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to change, returning the number of packets processed. While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.
